Student Well Being

Student Well-Being
Peer Support & Relationships (PSR) + Cyber Wellness (CW)

Vision:

Every Dazhong student is a Peer Supporter and advocate for Cyber Wellness.

Mission:

To create a Caring and Enabling School environment by:

• Empowering students to be positive influencers and leaders

• Bridging the adult and student divide to strengthen our student’ safety nets

• Creating a protective factor for students at risk through the building of positive relationships

• Contributing to a positive school Culture of Care.

Key Approaches for Student Well-Being @ DZPS:

In order to create a Caring and Enabling School environment and strengthen our school’s Culture of Care, the school looks into the various aspects of Student Well-Being through these areas:

• Positive Teacher-Student Relationships

• Positive Peer Support & Relationships   

• Mental Health

• Cyber Wellness

• Students with Needs

It is a whole-school effort to equip all students with the necessary skills to support their own well-being as well as strengthen their school support systems (both offline & online). This is further supported by our teachers. A two-prong approach is thus adopted by our school to address this:

1. Level 1 PSR and CW (All Students)
DZPS 3E  - Excite & Engage

• Cyber Wellness Weeks (as part of NE events - Total Defence Day, IFD, Racial Harmony, National Day)

• PSR infused as part of School Programmes (e.g. School Camps, Stories Come Alive!)

• FTGP Lessons & Assembly Talks for the explicit teaching of PSR and CW

    2. Level 2 PSR and CW (Peer Support Leaders & ICT Champions)
DZPS 3E  - Engage & Empower

• Training of Peer Support Leaders (PSL) and ICT Champions

• Platforms for PSLs and ICT Champion to be Serving Leaders:

  • Provide peer support and help to their peers in their own class / level

  • Serve as Cyber Wellness ambassadors during NE events to drive CW messages

  • Promote a Culture of Care in school by welcoming their peers at the start of each term, and doing a proper farewell to their peers at the end of each term.

  • Promote Inclusivity in our school by peer supporting selected ISPR Students (Building Bridges Programme)

PSLs spreading the love and care for their peers every Start and End of School Term during their Welcome and Dismissal Parades.
